Maybe this one here ..... www.geddesbuildingmover.com/services/ from Bow NH, "Get a quote - Reach out to us today!", is the one to use? That remarkable, high-ceiling, two porch residence up on wood blocks and steel rails in their photo has similar black and white outside paint!

Maybe move this old Victorian house onto the single railroad track that's very close by, just across the road, and move it to South Down Shores on a flat bed, railroad car. The empty railroad track could definitely use some business and actually make some money. Put that totally unused railroad track to good use with an 1870 Victorian house move! Will it fit on a railroad flat car?

Here's another plan for moving this old house and large old barn that could be a better move. Roll it down to the public sandy beach, across the road there, and load it onto a barge. With it onboard the barge, it could be barged anywhere on the lake, to an island or to a shoreline location. This actually seems like it may be a real doable moving plan if someone is seriously interested?

Have old 1870 Victorian house and barn - will travel: contact 76 Lakeside Avenue, Weirs Beach NH ......

Isn't it safe to say that it will, in all plausibility, get trucked out by www.spearsbrothers.com as demolished building debris! .....

Spears Brothers would /will likely salvage that giant old cupola atop the big barn and have it for sale at their Belmont recycled old building materials warehouse, along with numerous other interesting building items from this 1870 historic beauty.

...........................

Attention: residential home sales ...... how sell-able is this property to a new owner/resident?

You know, instead of putting this 0.30-acre lot to some type of changed commercial use, maybe the owner could think about simply selling it to someone who will live in this old house which has five bedrooms, a large detached barn with a live-in apartment, the Laconia school system, excellent quality town water and sewer, plus a large bike-week sublet area, out front? Seems like a big winner all around, for some new family?

A few years ago, the city did a major redo of the sidewalks and road, out front, including removing the large number of overhead utility wires to underground conduit. So, the waterfront view for this old house has become very much improved what with the removal of all the electric wires which makes it more desirable as a home with a beautiful big lake view.

Plus, the new owner(s) has the choice opportunity to take a walk up the nearby, steep Tower St road, every morning for a 99-cent cup of Jo and a 3-dollar NY Times at the nearby Cumby store, and continue around, down Rt-3, back home. This particular Rt-3 section is very unusual for NH in that it actually has a real walking sidewalk for all the distance from Cumby's back down to Lakeside Ave, something very unusual around here. And who knows, maybe the totally unused railroad track will actually become a walking and bicycling trail, some day?

And by selling it, the current owner should be able to make a big fat gain on what they paid! ....
